Tyagi says Congress blocked power‑sharing, forced Nitish Kumar to walk away

KC Tyagi, a veteran socialist leader, reiterated that Congress “doesn’t like any division of power” and cited the episode where Nitish Kumar was denied the role of convenor in the INDIA front. He mentioned that Rahul Gandhi privately told Kumar that Mamata Banerjee would not support him, and that the party preferred all non‑Congress, non‑BJP groups to accept Kumar as a leader immediately. Tyagi praised the NDA’s decision to appoint George Fernandes as its convenor, contrasting it with Congress’s refusal to do the same for Kumar.
